I've thought of one more thing I'd like to see happen: All donations to political parties should be given anonymously. There could be an independent
body with independent auditors for the donations to be sent to. That body would be responsible for allocating them to the correct parties.

[edit on 14-9-2008 by berenike]

I'll second that with the modification that all donations and contribution go into the fund, distributed evenly amongst all candidates.

6. Bring in a constitution that is realistic and aimed at curbing state power to be overseen by the supreme court. Any political overun of the
constitution would result in removal from power and imprisonment.

7. All city councils would be disbanded and their ability to pass laws would finish.

8. Companies such as Monsanto who abuse the environment would be shut down

anybody who has immigrated into this country in the last 10 years and is currently claiming benefits will be immediately deported. you will not be
allowed in unless you have something to contribute, go leech off some other country!

withdraw from Iraq immediately, we are losing lives at the cost of oil, i know which is more important.

build up our armies and weaponry. for too long this country has been in the shadow of america, living off the reputation of an aged navy. build up the
army, reinstate conscription/national service unless the person is going to study for a degree in an area of significant importance i.e medical.

our judicial system is a disgrace, penalties for serious crimes (murder, attempted murder, drug abuse, drug dealing etc) will be much much harsher
with no time off for "good behaviour", tell that to the person whose life they ruined.

stop unncessary taxes on things that aren't green e.g 4x4's. and stop making greenness and how we are destroying mother earth (ruddy hippies) such a
huge issue. global warming cannot be reversed, it is going to happen, lots of people may die. we can do nothing about it.

The first thing I would do is free Border Patrol agents Ramien and Campos. Then I would begin an investigation into the reason they were even
tried.

I would build a wall along the southern border like that of Hadrians Wall. Station the National Guard (from all states) there. Anyone can leave but
only certain points to reenter and all proper documentation is needed. Deport all illegal aliens. Legal immigration is still welcomed.

Use the Patriot Act to get rid of street gangs. If you are in a gang then you just disappear.

I would disband the 2 party system and energize a new party, The American party. I would get rid of the electoral college and all elections will be
decided by popular vote.

"Signing Statements" would become illegal. The President and Congress cannot take vacations while U.S. military is deployed in combat. Stop the
prctice of giving friends and contributors government jobs or cabinet postions. When there is a vacany or a new administration takes over, the
highest ranking government employee in that department moves up to that cabinet position.

I would make it a crime to be a lobbyist. No company or corporation can donate to any candidate at any time.

Any company that wants to move overseas must pay those workers the same as they were paying American workers. If they still move overseas they must
maintain all of their factories and manufactoring base in a clean, operating condition and cannot sell them for a profit.

Impose "Fair Trade" and get rid of "Free Trade".

Make it mandatory for all males in the country to serve at least 2 years of military service. Those that are not physically able to do so must serve
2 years in some other capacity.

Make it a capital crime for anyone found guilty of any sex crime. If it is later found out they were not given a fair trial, or there was malfeasance
on the part of the police or district attorney, then the police involved and prosecuting attorney will also be put to death.

Withdraw from the U.N. anjd stop all foriegn aid.

All people would have the right to refuse paying medical bills if the doctor was incompetent. Universal health care would be a right.

I wish there was a computer game that would mimic the effects of leading a country in a specific way. Civilization is one game, but its not really
complex enough in terms of showing the effects on the population. Sim City... same thing there.

There is a lot of really great stuff on here. People seem to like the idea of this thread. I'm suprised it isn't getting more flags. I think it's
extremely important to hear the voice of the people. And I really like how certain things remain consistant desires from people of many diferent
nationalities. That sais a lot to me. Thanks all.

The goal is to achieve energy efficiency through renewable resources and to decrease violence through national shared wealth as well as full education

mess up.

Well I guess alot of the above could be thought out abit ore but there is the gist of my country. Sorry for any bad grammar or spelling.

You've obviously put a lot of thought into your posts. I really liked most of it. I'm not sure about killing anyone on the spot though. Are you
really comfortable handing anybody that sort of (legal) power? I mean, power corrupts, right? That person could just kill anyone for anything and cry
treason after the fact. Scary thought.

Well maybe on the spot was to critical but if there was proof yah maybe with a yearly elected tribunal that handles that kinda thing. Selling off
National secrets for the sole purpose of personal gain and to kill off people will not be tolerated.

There will be no government secrets kept from the citizens as everything will be voted on and any public office will not be held for more then year
maybe military being the exception also the media and internet will be monitored for any outgoing government news or secrets. I guess some news would
be allowed but there would have to be a discussion on what that would be. Questioning the Governments actions would be encouraged and Ideas
welcomed.

I also forgot to add the drug war would be over like a previous poster stated if you want to kill yourself through drugs so be it its your choice as
long as it does not cause physical harm or harm in the way of stealing to support the habit.

If another country wants to apply for membership that would be cool as long as the laws of my nation were followed

If I was Prime Minister of the UK the first thing I would do would be to link the value of the pound to gold (or something similar) to increase the
stability of the currency and hopefully reduce inflation which hits the poor the worst. Income tax would also disappear, so would the Bank of
England.

Next I'd pull out of Europe, NATO and the UN. I'd open up talks with many more countries to get more free trade with them, also friendship with
some couldn't be a bad idea, but not military alliances. Leaving Iraq and Afganistan would happen as quickly as possible, let them sort out their
own lives and government. This would hopefully reduce the amount of terrorists in the region.

Domestic problems, draft documents similar to the American Bill of rights and constituition outlining the fundemental rights of people (which no
government could remove) and how the government works for them not vice versa. Reduce government power/beuarocracy especially by getting rid of the
NHS and distancing government's role in education.

I'd also try to decentralise government on some other matters and give more power to the local ones. People's right to protest would be guaranteed,
and the 28 day detention limit for terrorists would be got rid of.

Legalise drugs from classes A-C, its not the Governments job to say what you put in your own body or do to yourself as long as it doesn't effect
others (drink driving).

1. I would explain to the people that we will be going back in time, bla bla bla.

2. All troops globally would be brought home and placed on the boarders, and key government locations.

3. I would order the arrests of all prime player who have sponsored illegal wars and legislation. To include the treasonous activity of the media.
MSM would be nationalized, and at such future time, offered for resale to the general public, with new laws and guideline put into place to see media
is never allowed to be monopolized again.

4. All heads of departments would be fired and those found to be operating unconstitutionally will be held as a minimum for treason.

5. As by this time most of the congress and senate have been arrested for various crimes, I would order that all amendments after the original 13th,
be abolished. I would have the members of the Supreme Court held on suspicion of treason, and be replaced by holding a special election and let the
people decide who will be the guardians of the constitution.

6. I would ensure that the spirit of the Constitution was followed to the letter, that all men (And Woman) are created equally, therefore all the
amendments that dealt with racial equality would not be needed.

7. All dual citezens would be deported to the country that claims them as citizens, unless they are being held for crimes. I would like to say with
no exceptions, but there must be a mechanism created for case by case consideration.

8. The federal reserve would not only be abolished, but the owners and agents, officers of this institution be held for trail for an array of
offenses, to include but not limited to: Murder, extortion, treason, emblazonment, fraud, blackmail, crimes against humanity. I would order an
immediate military expeditionary force to hunt down, capture, and return to the United States members of the above group for trial, and the
confiscation of all gold and silver supplies that were stolen from the People of the United States, and returned to Fort Knox.

9 With the returned precious metals I would order the treasury department issue currency in the form of certificates, not notes, and return this
country back to sound money. I would assist companies in restarting American industry. I would put back to a level playing field with regard to
cheap imports.

10. Admiralty law will be abolished! Common law would be put back into place. The gold fringe will come off the flag, forever! There will be no
more "corporate Personages". We will return to the concept that the person is tax free, and the corporations are taxed. Governmental operating
funds will once again come from "Constitutional" sources.

11. To hold a position of trust in this government, from local to federal, you must take an oath of allegiance, to the death, and no other oath. If
it is found that you have taken any other oath that conflicts with the government oath, you will be held for trail and charged with treason. There
will be no monetary fine, or jail time. So my advise is, if you have taken any other oath, don't run for office!

12. We will return to common sense medicine and education. The AMA, ADA, APA, owners and corporate officers will be arrested and charged with but
not limited to, conspiracy to commit murder, bribery, crimes against humanity. I will direct the nationalized media to educate the population as to
the crimes of said organizations. The educational system will be returned to the local level, and separated from government control. There will be
special organizations created where the people will decide what is taught, and when. The Government will serve the people as it should have from the
beginning by offering medical services that have been shown to cure, rather than treat the symptoms. Any associated cost with educating the people or
medical services will be born by the government, but no oversight. Education and health is the cornerstone of a great country.

13. With tears in my eyes, I would attempt to apologizes to the American People, and the People of the world, for the previous administrations, and
all the pain and suffering that has occurred. I would make it absolutely clear that everything humanly possible will be done to bring the guilty to
justice, and every attempt will be taken to ensure it never happens again. I would ask God almighty to once again look down on America with pleasure
and blessings. And for those who do not want to here the name of God, I would consider you to be dual citizen of another country, go back to Hell!!
This would once again be Gods Country!!! P.S. God has nothing to do with Religion!!

I would build a wall between the USA and Mexico, increase patrols on the northern border and add to coastal patrols. In addition, I would tighten home
security with the intention of preventing an attack on USA soil. I would then do a fast quiet phased with draw from Iraq. If someone who is here broke
a law no matter how minor, and was caught and was not here legally, I would deport them instead of wasting money doing sweeps and searches.

I would stop the USA from being the policemen of the world.

I would stop foreign aide unless the country in need would allow a U.S. Military base of some capacity on their soil or, the country in need was a
proven strong ally.

I would use tax payer money and taxes from the oil industry to drill for oil in an environmentally friendly way on USA soil and would construct a
refinery. I would then sell the oil and gas back to the US public at cost. Operating costs would be mandated to be kept as low as possible. This would
also force Oil companies to be more competitive with the federal oil company.

I would do away with all taxes and fees with the exception of income tax. Income tax would be 15% of income for everyone with no deductions or refunds
or shelters. 10% to Fed and 5% to state.

I would form a think tank to reduce government waste and spending with a goal of not cutting jobs. i.e. Cut new office furniture, wastefulness, doing
more with less, business trips, etc. All money saved from this would be used to repay national debt.

I would encourage to buy American and invest in America.

I would do all possible to make America and strong manufacturer of high quality products.

I would form a think tank to determine the reasons why health care is so costly and attempt to develop a solution.

I would form a think tank to discover a cure for frivolous law suits and abuse of the justice system.

I would leave abortion up to doctors but encourage choosing life and streamline adoption processes.

I would not allow for importing more then what we export or balancing of the market.

I would have public schools get back to teaching the basics and push education with an emphasis on engineering
